Mixed-Signal Design and Verification Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking a talented and motivated Mixed-Signal Design and Verification Engineer to join our IC development team. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design, modeling, and verification of analog and mixed-signal IPs integrated into complex SoCs. This role involves hands-on transistor-level design as well as behavioral modeling and mixed-signal verification using state-of-the-art EDA tools and methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

Design

  • Design and simulate analog and mixed-signal circuits such as ADCs, DACs, PLLs, bandgaps, amplifiers, LDOs, and sensor interfaces.

  • Perform schematic entry, transistor-level simulation, and layout supervision using Cadence Virtuoso or equivalent design environments.

  • Develop behavioral models (Verilog-A, Verilog-AMS, or real-number models) for system-level simulations and verification.

  • Conduct PVT and Monte Carlo analysis to ensure circuit robustness and yield.

  • Collaborate with layout engineers to optimize performance, area, and reliability.

Verification

  • Develop and execute mixed-signal verification environments integrating analog and digital domains.

  • Create SystemVerilog/UVM or Verilog-AMS testbenches for block-level and top-level verification.

  • Perform co-simulation using AMS tools (e.g., Cadence AMS Designer, Synopsys VCS AMS, or Mentor Questa ADMS).

  • Develop and maintain real-number models (RNMs) to accelerate full-chip verification.

  • Define verification plans, coverage metrics, and automated regression flows.

  • Debug simulation results and correlate design behavior across schematic, behavioral, and silicon domains.

Collaboration

  • Work closely with system architects, digital design, and validation teams to define specifications and interface requirements.

  • Support post-silicon validation, measurement correlation, and root-cause analysis of issues.

  • Document design methodologies, results, and best practices for reuse across projects.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or related field.

  • 3+ years of experience in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and verification.

  • Strong proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso, Spectre, or similar SPICE-based tools.

  • Experience with SystemVerilog/UVM, Verilog-AMS, or real-number modeling.

  • Solid understanding of analog and digital fundamentals, including sampling theory, noise, linearity, and timing analysis.

  • Proficiency in scripting (Python, Perl, TCL) for simulation automation and data processing.
